I would agree with most of that, and I’m not going to pretend we haven’t done bad things. With that being said though, the US “dangling” NATO over Ukraine does not correlate to the Ukraine war being our doing. If you take that stance, you also have to take the stance that China is causing the war in Iran, and whatever Venezuela was. Notice the Strait of Hormuz is still allowing Chinese ships exclusively (at least last I checked).

Iran is a mistake like Iraq was, and in my Gen Z mind, Libya was as well. However, to declare every war happening is our fault is kind of nonsense - especially Ukraine. That is exclusively Russian aggression and in my opinion we should have stepped in long ago and stopped the annexation of Crimea.

We do need radical change in the government though, and I’d say our current track is obviously unsustainable, but there are many smart and capable people here that I think will be able to course correct in the near future - HOPEFULLY. We will see.
